[talk-au] Does FOSM really work?

2011-04-24 Thread Kevin Sheather
I have tried to use FOSM but with no success. I have opened an account and
logged in but none of the links seem to work with the exception of the
Attribution link that takes me back to an OSM Wiki page. The Potlatch link
produces a mostly blank page with not a map in sight. Is it designed to
operate on Windows Explorer 9?

I also tried to use Potlatch on http://fosm.org, but using Firefox on Kubuntu.
I get a map OK, but I do not know where it is, and there is no obvious
way of changing the location you are looking at.
There is a GPS button that does not work, this might be the problem.
Also there is no obvious way of uploading GPS traces, this also might
be what the GPS button is for.
I did not try editing as I did not want to risk damaging the mapping
already done.

Andrew.

 I've only used FOSM with JOSM, I've found it a little slow in
 downloading data, but it does work for me. Although it doesn't seem to
 have the same 0.25 of a degree limit when downloading, so in rural
 areas it actually makes life easier.
 

I've used with merkaartor.
But I couldn't be bothered to map right now, as I guess I would like a
fosm tile server.
When we hear back from 80n about fosm timeline we can consider setting
up au-nz tile server if needed
